This 2D animated short film is a comedy that follows the odd relationship between two very strange characters. Norman and Ivy meet as kids and their paths have continued to cross ever since in a series of funny and unusual encounters, from meeting as kids, to millennials and once again as old age pensioners. The unlucky couple can never seem to get it right until finally they meet again in old age, only to meet a tragic and untimely end. In essence this film is the anti-guide to companionship featuring two semi-sociopathic creatures who struggle to portray their affection for one another. This dark comedy will have you feeling a rollercoaster of emotions from grossed-out to confused and shocked. This short was created using Toon Boom’s Harmony, Photoshop and Adobe After Effects and will act as a portfolio piece to help me apply for jobs after graduation.
